Operation Smile Mission in Vijayawada, India
From November 29th to the December 5th 2019
Over the past 4 years, I have supported Okjeaösdfjaljdfadflj adsfjadsf jadjfadjf aalsdfja dsjf peration Smile activities as a bike2help.ch team member and as a supporter of the yearly Johnson & Johnson Switzerland fundraising campaign “Move for Charity”.
The private funds collected for Operation Smile have been doubled by my employer Johnson & Johnson Switzerland who also kindly support this mission of medical and non-medical volunteering to India. The objective of the mission is to bring surgical care to citizens who are affected by cleft lips and cleft palates in greater Vijayawada in the Southeast Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Vijayawada is located on the banks of Krishna River with a population of over 1 million inhabitants.
As a team member on this mission, I will have a unique chance experience the work of the organisation with the patients, their families and the hospital staff.
Operation Smile is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing free reconstructive surgery to children and young adults in developing countries all over the world. Since 1982, Operation Smile has provided surgical treatment to more than 200,000 patients around the world and, in the process, formed valuable relationships with the countries it has visited.
🚴♂️ From Northcape4000 Adventure to Planting 4000 Trees! 🌳
Last year and this year, I had the privilege of participating in the Northcape 4000 event, creating unforgettable memories. Now, those memories are becoming a reality - 2900 trees are already planted, and more are on the way! They serve as a living tribute to the Northcape adventure. We will reach the goal of 4000 trees in spring 2024! 😊
My mission goes beyond cycling, and with bike2help.ch, I’m supporting a special cause - the love for trees. None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of my private and corporate sponsors, the support of my hometown, Rümlang, and the amazing work of forester Thomas Hubli (TH Forst). A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone!
Together, we’re building a living legacy that connects my passion for cycling with the beauty of nature, especially trees. 🌍🌱 #TreePlanting #Northcape4000 #UnforgettableMemories #CyclingCommunity #Rümlang #THForst #Eberhardbau AG #Johnson&JohnsonMedtech #ViviKola #cuoreofswitzerland

The Northcape4000 Event will soon be over! only few kilometers to ride….🤩
As a lasting memory of this event, I would love to have 4000 trees 🌲being planted (1 tree per Kilometer). I started this initiative last year as a northcape4000 rider and already 1200 trees are planted in and around Rünlang. It would mean the world to me to have your support to reach 4000 trees. Send me a message if you are interested! Many thanks in advance! Thank you to all my private and corporate sponsors🙏🏼🙏🏼🌲 @eberhard_pioniere @ebi.young @baeckerei_conditorei_fleischli @vivikola @vsportag @jnj @cuoreofswiss #treeplanting #cyclingforacause #ultracycling @gemeinderat_ruemlang
